Prix Fixe Pronunciation?
 
Good afternoon to my fellow travelers. Can someone please clarify the pronunciation of "prix fixe"? I do not want to look like an idiot at a NY restaurant! <BR><BR>

prix= "pre" <BR>fixe = somewhere between "fix" and "feex" , together, with the emphasis on the second part =<BR><BR>"pre - FEEX"<BR><BR>You're right, though, people (including waiters!) will often come up with <BR>"Prix fix"
